ACADEMY
Player development is at the heart of everything we do at Derby County Football Club Women’s Academy.
Our vision is to inspire players to achieve their footballing potential.
This vision is achieved through development in four key areas:
TECHNICAL
PHYSICAL
SOCIAL
PSYCHOLOGICAL
We aim to present the best development opportunities through our player pathway and inspire players through the Academy's values of:
COURAGE
ACHIEVE
RESPECT
DETERMINATION
In the Academy, we have three phases of development:
FOUNDATION (7-11)
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT (12-15)
PROFESSIONAL (16-20)
